This is harmful radioactive jewelry rather than weird and neat rocks. People can and should do what they want, but it's absolutely insane and ironic that you can buy radioactive wear-on-your-body jewelry that's sold as good for you rather than a disclaimer that you literally should not wear it, because it's actually poison.
But I mean, if you want to wear literal poison, I raise my glass of bleach to you.
Luckily, I didn't buy it to wear. And I can confirm it's not a "cool rock".
In that case, does it do anything neat under a UV flashlight if you happen to have one?
Don't have one.
Actual radioactivity matters quite a bit as to how safe it is, and that’s dependent quite a bit on the actual amount and thorium density of the specific item in question. From Tokaimura to a banana levels of radiation covers quite a large range, and I in good faith assumed that if someone was going out of their way to find and mention thorium on Unix socks of all places it was probably a pretty safe assumption that they know the basics and could check where on that spectrum the item falls, that it’s an excuse to play with a detector is most of the fun after all.
It seems you were absolutely correct in this case, too. I have to admit my mistaken assumption. Good intuition on your part.
